Pharmacology

Soneta is a topical steroid containing Mometasone. It works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that cause skin redness, swelling, and itching. It depresses the formation, release, and activity of endogenous inflammatory mediators like kinins, histamine, liposomal enzymes, and prostaglandin. This leads to reduced inflammation, vascular dilation, and cell migration to the injury site, thus decreasing symptoms like swelling, itching, and redness.

Adult Dose: Apply a thin film of 0.1% cream/ointment to the affected area once daily.
